Before I start explaining my thoughts, I want to say this loud and clear: I’m not against evangelism. I love seeing people who are good at sharing the Gospel sharing it with those they come into contact with. It’s truly an art.
I don’t, however, believe that everyone needs to do that. This is a distinction [...]

I interrupt this program

…to announce that God is good. Dave got a job that we’ve been waiting on, for various reasons, for almost 3 months. Yay. There are still some steps to go through before he actually signs a contract, but basically the job is his and he’ll start June 1. Hallelujah!

I’ve honestly never before been told that my interpretation of Scripture was doing violence to the text.
Dave and I went to hear the leader of his denomination speak at his church last night. Since this was sort-of a big deal, they did a nice-ish sit-down dinner beforehand, with the youth group dressed in black [...]
Trying too hard? I

Lately, I feel like I start to get blog ideas, but they slip through my fingers when I try to nail them down.

Holy Week is a hard week for me. Usually, it’s not hard for me to “get into” a story (as a child, I often struggled more to “get out”!). But Holy Week is hard because I know how it ends.

Social Justice in our own country
Posted in Becoming, Justice for all on April 2, 2007 | 2 Comments »
If you know me, you know that social justice is something I care about, but I do it quietly. I’m not usually the one out there jumping on bandwagons and convincing others to come with me.
